One tip on refining the raw edge laid against the zipper: - Use a superfine grit sandpaper to gently sand down the rawness of the cut edge of the leather - gently! - and kind of round out the straight edge cut by the rotary wheel. - Ink the edge with your sharpie. - Polish the edge using your beeswax, in either of 2 ways: buff using a piece of cotton muslin impregnated with beeswax (you'll have to melt the wax and soak the muslin which can be incredibly messy, but makes the buffing step easier); or carefully and lightly rub a little of the hard wax against the edge, then buff with a plain piece of muslin.
The sanding and beeswax not only spramp up that raw edge and gives an amazing artisan finish, it seals the raw edge of the leather, which protects and adds life to your piece.

Amid the pile were some ties my dad never wears anymore –which is what reminded me of my experiments in making men’s ties –the first tie was one he wore with his Army uniform. I love to examine sewn products made for the military. Nearly always, the design and construction are exemplary. This item was no exception. Maybe you’ll notice my dad likes cats. You put the tie on, feed the underside through the carrier and then attach the underside to a shirt button and presto, no more recalcitrant flapping ties.

Still, the websites are useful, there’s not much to it -with one exception related to padding below- the real trick being cutting them out. Mine were all made via reverse engineering.
